SAN ANTONIO (Ticker) -- Danny Ferry scored 16 points against his
former team and Derek Anderson keyed a decisive second-half run
as the San Antonio Spurs snapped the Cleveland Cavaliers'
six-game winning streak, 94-77.

Ferry had 10 points in the second half while all nine of
Anderson's second-half points came in a 22-6 burst that turned a
tie game into a 16-point fourth-quarter lead for San Antonio.

"Anyone who tells you that playing against your old team is not
a big game is lying," Ferry said. "I was real excited. I had a
great time in Cleveland, and I had a great time playing against
them."

Tim Duncan added 14 points and 12 rebounds while David Robinson
chipped in with 13 boards. It was the third straight win for
the Spurs, who have won 11 straight home meetings with
Cleveland.

"That was one of the our better performances of the season,"
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "We executed well on both ends
of the court. Defensively it was good defense, they shared the
ball. It was a good effort against a good team."

Chris Gatling scored 18 points and Lamond Murray and Andre
Miller added 14 apiece for Cleveland, which was in the midst of
its longest winning streak in more than three years. The loss
dropped the Cavaliers to 3-26 all-time in San Antonio.

"We played hard," Miller said. "If we keep playing as a team
we'll be all right."

The Spurs were cruising with a 59-46 lead with 7:22 left in the
third quarter when the Cavaliers went on a 15-2 run to tie the
game. Clarence Weatherspoon six-foot hook ignited the burst
that was capped by Matt Harpring's free throw with 3:23 to go.

Lamond Murray and Andre Miller had four points apiece in the
burst.

San Antonio, which never trailed in the game, responded with a
long 3-pointer by Terry Porter and put away the game with a run
that began in the final minute of the quarter.

Clinging to a 68-65 lead, San Antonio seized control beginning
with Ferry's 3-pointer with 59 seconds left. Porter had two
free throws 16 seconds later and Anderson made it 75-65 with two
more from the line with 11 seconds to play.

The fourth quarter began and Anderson kept the pressure on,
burying an 18-footer and a free throw. Miller temporarily
halted the run with two free throws but Ferry drained a
16-footer with 9:49 left and Steve Kerr extended the lead to
83-67 with a 3-pointer 18 seconds later.

Cleveland never got closer than 12 points thereafter.

It looked like the Spurs' big men would dominate early as Duncan
and Robinson scored six points apiece in the opening 12 minutes.
San Antonio led 24-19 after the opening quarter and pushed the
lead to 40-30 with 6:46 left in the opening half.

Sean Elliott's 3-pointer with 2:58 to go in the second quarter
put the Spurs up 47-35 and ignited an 8-0 run. Duncan had 10
points, as did Malik Rose, who made all four of his shots off
the bench.

San Antonio had eight blocked shots in the first half, six by
David Robinson.

"(David) blocked a few shots early and they really became aware
of his presence," Duncan said. "I think they had to change
some shots because of him."

"We had a couple of our shots blocked early on and that took a
lot of our edge off offensively," Cavaliers coach Randy Wittman
said.

The Cavaliers were without swingman Wesley Person, who will miss
the team's next two road games due to an ulnar nerve contusion
in his right elbow. It is the same injury that forced him to
miss eight games earlier this season.
